Having a blonde moment! Alex Gerrard is spotted getting fined for an out of date tax disc... as she parks on the pavement

When it comes to parking your car, some of us can be guilty of occasionally leaving a wheel on the curb, or not quite tucking inside the pesky parameters of a parking space.

But Alex Gerrard was caught with an out of date tax disc and also chose to park on the pavement whilst she was out having lunch with a friend in Liverpool on Friday.

The 31-year-old WAG could have have had her mind elsewhere, as she was seen returning to her car with shopping bags and clutching her mobile phone.

In a rush: Alex's lazy parking could of been down to her being short on time

Alex was spotted retuning to her car with a friend in Adidas sportswear and an indigo blue tank top.

The blonde beauty masked her face with mirrored sunglasses and was seen carrying a large shopping bag from the Style Clinic boutique, a luxury store in Liverpool.

The pretty blonde was seen returning to her silver Porsche which was fully mounted on the pavement, and seemed oblivious to the fact the ticket warden had paid her a visit.

Taxing: Alex will have to face the fine for her out of date tax disc, which should have been renewed more than a month ago

The tax disc displayed on the windscreen of her Porsche expired on February 28, which means it was due to be renewed well over a month ago.

The punishment for an out of date tax disc could be an automatic penalty of £80 as well as a minimum fine of £1,000, and could even result in your vehicle being clamped, impounded or even crushed.

Although it's unclear which penalty Alex will face.

It seems Alex and the girls may not be accompanying Stephen on the plane to the World Cup in Brazil this summer since the England captain claims having them around the camp is a distraction.

Alex and the couple's three daughters, Lilly-Ella, nine, Lexie, seven, and Lourdes, two will stay at the family home in Merseyside - just as they did during the 2010 tournament in South Africa.

England manager Roy Hodgson is allowing wives and girlfriends to join the 23-man squad at their base, but the Liverpool star says he has already made up his mind.

He said: 'I thought it was bit of a distraction, so in 2010 when I set off for the World Cup in South Africa I preferred for my family to be away from me and I could focus on trying to get my form right,' he said.

MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Alex Gerrard for comment.
